Many St. Francis garages were built for one car and a few tools, then slowly filled with boxes, leftover house items, and equipment that no longer works. When the stall can no longer hold a vehicle, or the door barely opens, Milwaukee County Junk Removal comes to clear the items you want gone and gives the garage back its job.
This page is about garage cleanouts in St. Francis. The county-wide version is on our garage cleanout page, and the full list is on our services hub. For more on how packed stalls are photographed in the south suburbs, see garage and shed cleanouts in Oak Creek and Franklin.
What we clear from a St. Francis garage
Typical loads include storage bins, broken shelves, old furniture, unused sporting gear, leftover lumber, and retired lawn equipment. A freezer, a mattress, or a stack of tires can be part of the same visit when the photos include them. If a small loft or wall of boxes is packed, show that area too.
Please mark what stays. A bike you still ride, a snow blower, or a cabinet of tools should be set aside or tagged. In St. Francis, you do not have to tidy the stall first. Honest photos of the full space, including the door opening, are enough for a quote.
From photos to an approved cleanout
Send pictures to 414-301-1028, name St. Francis, and add a nearby road if you wish. Mention whether the garage is attached, detached, or reached from an alley. The line stays answered 24/7 for this work. The pricing reply is free and, in most cases, comes back within minutes. We put a visit on the calendar only after you approve the price.
The team loads the marked pieces, takes them from the St. Francis lot, and wraps up there. Once we are done in St. Francis, payment is cash or credit. We may send usable pieces to donation when the condition supports it. The metal portion of the job can be recycled. The rest of this particular load is sent along for disposal. The estimate step is free of any charge.
Smaller stalls and tighter St. Francis access
Garages in this city are often narrower than the two-car bays you see in newer south-suburb subdivisions. A one-car stall off Packard Avenue or Howard Avenue may have a short apron and a door that does not open all the way. A photo of the door and the street or alley tells us how we will stand with the truck.
Some blocks have alley access, which can be the better loading path if the front drive is short or full. If that is your situation, show the alley and any tight turn. Lots closer to Lake Drive can be compact, so a plan for where the truck pauses keeps the visit easier for neighbors.
If a small shed sits behind the garage and you want both cleared, include the shed and the gate in the pictures. We plan the walk from those photos rather than assuming there is a wide side yard.
St. Francis garage questions
The door sticks and only opens partway. Can you still work in St. Francis?
Often yes, if we can see the opening in a photo, or if a side door is available. Tell us how the crew will get in before we quote.
Can you leave one path so I can still reach the house door?
Yes. Show us the path you want left open, or describe it in the text, and we will work around it.
What about cans of old lawn fuel or wet paint?
In St. Francis, we do not take open fuels or wet paint. Empty, dry containers are different and can often go with the load. Send a question about that specific can if you have any doubt.
